Question

Tires of a Bigfoot truck has a diameter of 2.2 m. If it rotates 60 revolutions find distance travel on the road.

Answer 1

Answer:

$s = 414.7 m$

Explanation:

The relationship between the linear distance covered by an object and its angular displacement is given by the following formula:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance traveled on road = ?

r  radius of tires = diameter/2 = 2.2 m/2 = 1.1 m

θ = angular displacement = (60 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 377 rad

Therefore,

$s = (1.1 m)(377 rad)\\s = 414.7 m$
